Thanks for Watching and Have a Magical Day! - Розваги
My sincerest of apologies to the Princess and the Frog fans for calling Louis the Alligator "Louie the Alligator." 🤣 Enjoy the video! ~Brayden
I was gonna look past it. 😂
Never seen it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The boat is too big so they might retheme it
I know it’s “Lou-is” but I will always internally read it as Louie. I didn’t even notice you said it wrong 😂
You're fine love your vids!
As a Technician I love that they put a hidden Mickey on the metal body of the gator. Must be a ton of hidden mickeys for Technicians eyes only. Great videos Brayden! I like your in depth talk around the technology.
They are stunning. I was so-so on this revamp, but wow. Real faces, no projections for faces. Smooth movements on MANY characters. This is exactly the kind of thing I was jealous of parks like Tokyo Disney having.
Insight from an animator, Maya is industry standard animation software across Animation and VFX. The thing with all the curves is called the Graph Editor which is how animators visualize movements of each control which corresponds to specific joints, pretty standard. Each curve corresponds to translate and rotate values in x (red) y (green) and z (blue). The animation shows continuous movement, overall it looks like a cycle (which makes sense for a ride) and a lot of the individual movements look to continuously cycle. Also the movement looks very clean (according to the graph editor).
They move terrifyingly smooth
I fully admit it’s cool how fluid these animatronics look but I think nothing is more impressive than Walt and his imagineers pioneering the technology.
Of course. When you go from having not seems something in your life to suddenly seeing something brand new and different it's much more amazing that something you've already seen getting a lot better. I am still very happy to see these new animatronics fill up attractions and this looks to be more impressive on the animatronics front than rotr.
Mama Odie is an amazing animatronic. She looks super fluid and lifelike while maintaining the qualities of 2D animation. It’s honestly remarkable what they did with her.
Agree! Mama Odie is superlative! She is a living cartoon! Brilliant!
Awesome! Excited about the animatronics, but I loved Splash and the old tech. It displayed the ingenuity of the time. Walt and his team were AWESOME!
A-1000 huh? Sounds like they are going to come to life and come after us all!! 😳
Illusion Maker is a job title? Man, if only I’d known that 20 years ago.
I can't wait to see everything in B-Mode... 😏
Oh boy-
Brayden you are pumping out the videos! So grateful for your hard work!!
I definitely like the full face animatronics versus the projection style (tho I get the reason they felt it was a good move at the time)
Just wish they would make sure the exiting ones would get better maintenance (looking at you Ariel).
From an OT networking professional standpoint, I wish I could see their production systems. Gotta be a wild “back stage”
What was the reason they felt projection faces were a good move?
@@matthewbuck7392Cheaper and more reliable, it’s easier to maintain a projector than two dozen motors which all have to work in sync to look good.
Poor maintenance in later years aside, the Splash figures were great. Fantastic character designs by Marc Davis, and just enough movements on all of them to sell the illusion. The TBA figures look incredibly fluid (particularly impressed by Louis) but I almost feel they would be better suited for a show where you can sit and appreciate the movements, vs a boat ride where you are quickly floating by.
Agreed. Disney will notice this and limit their movements.
My concern is Disney did very poor maintenance on the Splash figures, which were way less complex than these. Are we expecting Disney to start doing proper upkeep on this ride going forward? Something to think about
@@MickeyViews We all know they will start going down in 2-3 months. You now have to experience an attraction in the first 90 days if you want the full experience.
@@theshtcoinclub5879. Well they newer stuff you have to see it day of or within a week of opening. Just look at Epcot. It’s a nightmare and they spent over a billion dollars.
@@MickeyViewsIf Tokyo can do it, so can Disney. The only thing stopping them is stinginess lmao
The mama Odie is scary good, may give avatar a run for its money
the beaver is using its tail to hit the drum - which Ralphie is playing - which is why it is on the list for scene 11
Yes! More of this please, Disney. That quick shot of Davy Jones was astonishing.
Hey Brayden! You're doing awesome on all these updates, keep it up dude!
Great stuff Braden! Your enthusiasm is showing! Good thing too! I sure hope Disney gets the big picture that, as a business, they must increase and specialize their Maintenance schedules and spontaneity. They used to do astoundingly better than since the covid shutdown. They lost so much of their institutional memory in their Maintenance Teams. They need to rebuild that knowledge and "Know-how". Third shift maintenance used to keep everything running smoothly. Come on Disney, get it together! Thank You!
After seeing Tiana's Bayou with my own eyes at Magic Kingdom yesterday, and now seeing these animatronics... I'm actually super excited with this new Splash! The theming looks amazing, the concept is cool and the overall execution seems very promising.
What a great video! Now we want a follow up on your prior video about the transformation of Frontierland!
Brayden on 🔥 this week! So much news!!! 😂
This is the most Disney like thing they have released in some time!!!
I know everyone loves him but dang robot Louis looks like a thing of nightmares lol rip
I was around when the Disney fan community was reacting to the original Splash Mountain ... the parallels are interesting; yeah, Splash Mountain originally had 100 AA figures, but they were all recycled from America Sings not new figures developed for this ride. Also, the core of the ride was an "off the shelf" flume ride, rather than a novel ride system developed by imagineers. So there was a lot of concern about it being made "on the cheap" and Disney not putting enough investment into new rides, even back in those days.
These make me more optimistic than I was. That said, I still miss the amazing amount of animatronics in the original, even if they were mostly basic simple motion AA.
This is looking fantastic.
Despite Tiana’s geometry looking a bit off, it’s awesome to finally see the promised animatronics and the passion the designers have for their work.
As always so informative
It would be a real shame to see the Rivers of America and Island go away at WDW. Hopefully its just a reduction of the size of the river like at Disneyland for Star Wars GE.
You think Disney wants anyone to remember US heritage from the South or West? No. You are being replaced and so is your history.
Thanks for the vids, man!
I watched the video & thought about Disney Color program & the Inside Out program with George Forman. But I appreciate how you vividly & energetically brought it out better than Disney's Imaginears did. Thank you!!
Great video! Thanks so much.
I went to the first robotics world competition back in April 2024 and Disney imagineering was there showing off animatronics and specifically a a-1000 from Orlando used for hondo though the skin was removed, It was really cool (they also head some heads powered up, Elsa specifically) and asked the imagineer who was in charge of animatronics about maintenance and he said that it’s a lot easier and quicker now with it being all electric and they the figures were designed to be easy to repair and cheap to repair with how the wires are routed and how the motors are off the shelf.
Great video!
Great video 😊
Best video ever!!! I’m so excited now!!
Excited!!!
Brayden. Some good news!! Thank you!!
Great video. Animatronics is so fascinating.
Keep it mind, there are some other things we see moving that are not listed in the animatronics at all. (Mama Odies snake is an example) I would anticipate based on the concept art we've seen that there might be more animatronics like that as well with limited motion.
These look so cool!
As always Brayden has the best news, the most updates ,best views and should be a Disney test rider….thanks
I'm doing my first solo trip in Sept and am looking forward to this ride! Thanks for the info, Brayden.
No hate but just wanna let you know that Disney World's version is the longer version not Disneyland's.
The animatronics look very good.
My one consistent comment throughout this whole process has been “I just hope they do it right.” If they change a classic right, they better not just paint some plywood like Pooh.
These animatronics give me hope that the change will be worth it.
Props to the Imagineers.
Thanks Brayden - spent 3 days trying to figure out what software they were using thought it was Unity or Unreal - didn’t think about Adobe Maya - awesome content, long time fan, see you in the parks!
You can only hope that none of them catch fire
I am so excited to experience this new story line and to see these animatronics.
Thank Braydon.
The fanfare over mediocre offerings is why Disney gets away with everything it does. It's as if pixie duaters really are just interested in a brand name experience. How sad.
having no dark or creepy elements to this ride is a wasted oportunity shadow man would make the ride 1000x better especially with "friends on the otherside"
One of the things I noticed is that when you watch the original video where they show the log they zoomed out and you can see a Tiana bent down looking for something, but I couldn’t quite tell, anyways you should check it out!
Another Banger
do you think they would ever update carousel of progress animatronics
This is a late night drop I did not expect… Thanks for posting and we see all your hard work. Appreciate the neutral perspectives
Ok, so like I’m happy to see black and brown bodies finally getting the representation they deserve in the Disney parks. However, all these characters are still cisgender heterosexuals, which is BORING.
Like where is the REAL diversity? Where are the demisexuals and queers and pansexuals? Where are the female-to-male trans boys? Where are the gender fluid omnisexuals??
As a neurodivergent, nonbinary queer myself, I still don’t see myself in any of these characters.
Until Disney adds some queer representation to this attraction, I really have no interest in it. It looks like just another example of cisgender, heteronormativity to me. Like I can’t even with this…it gives me the literal ick.
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m much more optimistic about Tiana’s Bayou Adventure since seeing these animatronics than I was previously. Mama Odie in particular is incredibly true to animation (although is anyone else not quite sold on the fuzzy texture of Louis’s ‘skin’? He looks like a big plush, not a leathery alligator).
I’m not quite sold on the exterior, as I think the sense of scale, height, and overall visual interest is much diminished. But I’m hoping Disney pulls a great ride from all this uncertainty.
I agree! Very excited
New Oreleans was always a great place to set a ride at.
Agreed, I love the setting of New Orleans, though I’d like to see more Princess and Frog/ New Orleans Square references in French Quarter. It’s weird how absent those things at that hotel.
I'm so glad to see someone else mentioning Louis's skin. It's obviously just a fuzzy suit zipped over the armor. They could have made a rubber suit to give the look of leathery skin. His foamy exterior makes me think of Kermit.
I think the Louis skin to look plushy was a design choice for small children in mind. Regardless, this was the best hype video Disney could put out for a ride that has mostly spawned negativity due to the loss of a classic ride.
I trust Bruce Vaughn leading WDI… would I prefer someone like Tony Baxter, 100000%- but Bruce is certainty better than any outside hire that didn’t come up through Imagineering. I’m curiously optimistic
Dude those animatronics look wicked. If they did a slow refurbish on some of the existing that would be so cool! Like Ariel and Ursula, The Three Caballeros, and maybe some scenes in Winnie the Pooh. Not necessarily ripping out all the old tech that still looks marvelous, but adding enhancements where it would benefit.
The A-1000 animatronic figures is not a new thing; the first one developed, was the wicked witch in 1989 for the Wizard of Oz scene at the great movie ride. So odd to think that this technology is 35 years old!
No that was the A-100
I just hope we get updated animatronics for Frozen Ever After.
That will be very low on their list of priorities IMO.
Can't wait for the new figment ride announcement! wait on it!!!!
Maybe all the pressure from Peltz lit a fire under them and they are getting back to the basics of what made the parks great.
This was started before the Proxy War. But I do hope that they start prioritising the customer experience more, instead of nickle and diming every second and killing the magic dead before it has the chance to form.
4:27 They literally put hidden mickeys where they will actually be ... you know, hidden? And what do you think are the chances of them eve using some of the expansion lots around Epcot ctr.? Can't wait to see what's beyond TM. I'd love to see 'rattlesnake canyon' with a clone of the Hong Kong mine train.
Awesome now fix the expedition everest yeti after you are done.
I will have to admit as an animatronic fan my self. I down right love these animatronics. They look like they jumped right out of the movie and into reality. But they Treated 1974 America Sings Animatronics Badly and i wish they would have reused them for this Tiana ride. These high tech Animatronics are probably the only good thing about this attraction. I'm going to give it a chance because i grew up with Princess and the frog 2009 movie, let's hope it doesn't end up like stitch's great escape
Would’ve liked dr fracilier tbh
They did an amazing job with these animatronics. Cant wait to ride it.
I am so glad to see these animatronics! I’m not necessarily a fan of the Splash Mountain retheme but I do like these. I think Tiana should have a spot in the park and I guess if Disney “must” get rid of Frontierland this is a step toward that. Thanks for the great show Brayden
I think the remaining critters in the musical finale are going to be projected like in Mickey's Runaway Train.
I would love to see a cars attraction in what's beyond thunder mountain as part of the nww plan expansion.
Using Maya to clean up animate the character motion curves. Nice! Looks great. Now please go animate figment!
You are the best Disney reporter ever!❤
With the current and replaced audioanimatronics, there are so many things that could go wrong on a ride it's amazing any of them are in perfect working order at any given time. These shows have to run like clockwork.
The WDW splash mountain is a good deal longer than Disneyland's version, not the other way around, so hopefully we have more than 17 at WDW.
I want new scenery on the railroad when the new expansion is complete! Not some plain Chapek tunnel like Tron.
Walt would have loved these new audio animatronics ❤ he was always about progress it seemed
We’re almost there…almost there
These look amazing, but all I can think of is how much they will cost to repair and maintain, and we all know how that goes with Disney. I give it one to two months before some of these become like the Expedition Everest Yeti and operate in "B Mode".
Would be a shame to lose rivers of America or Tom sawyers island
i was wondering if they were going to reuse a br'er gator statue (you know, the alligator that is seen fishing with br'er frog on his back) for louie at some point in the ride, but his animatronic form tells me they won't
I wonder if even though the animatronics count is low now, maybe later with some additional funding they can add extras to fill in any sparse areas. Also not a huge fan of the re-theme but I do very much appreciate the new tech and hope later that they can apply it to other projection-based rides.
Great update, Braydon! Personally, I'd rather have impressive "magical" story-centric animatronics, than more less-impressive, less-impactful figures. Can't wait to see this ride in person.
Why can't they just build around the river?
Btw: 6:00, the Disney World ride length is longer than Disneyland version, not the other way round as you stated.
To be fair, the bulk of the animatronic characters on Splash Mountain were dozens of singing chickens leftover from America Sings.
Louis the Alligator is incredible; the engineering from WDI here is impressive.
I can't wait for Tiana's Bayou Adventure!
I know outside of the 17 characters on that list and the critters, there's going to be frogs and fireflies on the ride, so maybe that'll bump up the physical figure count. There's at least two frogs sitting on a log on the outside portion of the ride, and concept art indicates there's many more on the inside. We'll have to see! I'd imagine if they're reusing any animatronics from the original ride (which they'd probably update to be electric like what's happening with the Country Bears), they wouldn't be on that list since they're not entirely brand new. Who knows!
I wonder if expertise in small motors and actuators, fine adjustment (small motors fry if alignments are off, metal is unforgiving), etc. is more or less expensive and hard to hire - versus expertise for pneumatics/hydraulics? And, trouble shooting any programming glitches are a new kind of "fun". I'm not trashing the upgrade, just being realistic that its an open question if maintenance is somewhat, or a lot, easier...
I was afraid the new ones would have same rubbery face that cartoons now have. Such a difference if you see the older ones.😢
TEHY LOOK AMAZBING OWO 😱😱😱😱
I hope they bring Fantasy Springs to Orlando.
I hope we get the same high quality on the new land expansions . I have a great feeling that the new expansions will happen . It's not a matter of if anymore it's just a matter of when.
I loved this release by Imagineering. It felt like old-school Disney for the first time in forever. Not over-scripted, talking to those who are making these incredible figures, advancements in technology.... great all around! Just one clarification, Disney World actually has the LONGER Splash Mountain. Disneyland's dark ride portion is about a minute and 20 seconds shorter than WDW, so WDW should see more animatronics than Disneyland or, it will have more dead spaces. I'm still so skeptical of this sequel story to a great film, but these animatronics give me hope. It's going to all come down to story at this point....
Do you really think someday the frozen ride at Epcot would get the same update?
Me not hopping over to the Walt Disney Imagineering YT channel
I don’t care what they call this… I’ll always refer to this ride as SPLASH MOUNTAIN
And you won’t in the least bit look like the saddest person doing so either. Definitely an important enough cause to dedicate your energy to.
🙄
Call it what it is. Tiana's Boring Adventure.
@@gregr3720Dude, you’ve seen the tiniest bit of the ride, which isn’t even completed yet. You must be so much fun at parties.
@@happymaskedguy1943 I am a whole lot of fun.
@@happymaskedguy1943 dedicate your energy to your 11 subscribers- see ya
It looks like crap. Splash Mountain was perfect.
I loved Splash, but it absolutely was not perfect, come on. At least be honest.
Not sure that Tiana looks correct. Kind of looks like Belle with a different skin overlay. Hidden Mickey on Louie
So refreshing to see investment of money and talent into an attraction experience. Seems like forever since we’ve gotten even a hint of this level of commitment.
